HOW TO CONTOUR WITH SELF-TANNER<\/h2>\r\n

1. Use the Right Product<\/h3>\r\nFirst things first, the founder of HUDA Beauty<\/a>\u00a0says to ensure that whatever tanner you\u2019re using is, in fact, designed for use on your face. \u201cThat\u2019s always a risk, especially for those with sensitive skin,\u201d she points out.\r\n

2. Do a Patch Test<\/h3>\r\nSecond, she suggests doing a shade test before applying any self-tanner to your face. \u201cI would suggest [applying] the self-tanner on your skin for a quick patch test to make sure it creates the right bronzed tone you\u2019re looking for,\u201d she explains.\r\n

3. Wait + See<\/h3>\r\nLastly, check to see how long it takes to show up. After all, while some self-tanners create an immediate glow, others take hours to set in, which can make it difficult to realize just how much you\u2019re applying.\r\n\r\n\u201cSelf-tanner often takes time to oxidize or show color, [posing] another potential risk to using it on the face,\u201d Huda shares. \u201cIn most cases, it may be difficult to control what color you\u2019re buffing onto the skin.\u201d\r\n

4. Get to Contouring<\/h3>\r\nOnce you\u2019ve selected a tanner with all these tips in mind, you\u2019ll be ready to go.
